Okemo Valley Nordic Center opened for the season with 15 kilometers of tracked and skate-groomed ski trails, and 11 kilometers of snowshoe trails.

"The recent snow storm was a bonanza for Nordic skiers," says Okemo Valley Nordic Director Michael Santa Maria. "We're open and I think it's going to be another stellar season."

The Nordic Center will offer 22K of tracked and skate-groomed terrain for skiers, and 13Kof trails dedicated to snowshoe trekkers. The trails are suited to all ability levels, from novice to expert. Nordic trails are groomed daily using state-of-the-art grooming machines. Inside the gracious clubhouse facility, visitors enjoy a fully stocked Nordic Shop with popular brands of equipment, outdoor clothing and accessories.
